Yarn recommendations wiki!!

Hey u guys!! I have had this idea for a while, so here it is!! feel free to bookmark, share or like this post to remember it!!

How to add - click the pencil icon and add: yarn - price range - rating out of 10 - bought from - and any other info!

CHENILLE:

Yarnsmiths chunky chenille - £2.99 gbp(on sale from £5 gbp) - 8/10 - from Wool Warehouse - doesn’t shed too much, cheap delivery, lots of colours.

Utopia Crafts velvet lux - £2 gbp-£3 gbp - 6/10 - Utopia Crafts LTD - rarely in stock, yarn texture varies, but very cheap.

Sweet snuggles lite - 12-15 CAD - 7/10 - Michaels - Very soft and silky, but snaps super easily.

Loops & Threads Skinny Chenille - $9.99 USD - 10/10 - Michaels - soft cuddly - medium size 4 - makes magic circles beautifully so long as your first chain isn’t super tight and it doesn’t snap, goes on Clarence sales (in-store only) for $3-$5 depending on color popularity in the area.

Jellybaby - £3-£4 gbp - 8/10 - amazon - good quality, good colours, sheds a lot

Flutterby chunky - £3-£5 gbp- 6/10 - hobbycraft, amazon - soft, doesn’t shed too much, but extremely thin! There are some very pretty colours tho, and u can buy in lots of places in the uk where chenille is hard to find

Portacraft blanket chenille - AU$4 - 9/10 - Cheap store - most affordable chunky yarn I can find in Australia, great quality, snaps fairly easily, impossible to make magic ring with (needs ch 2 method)

COTTON:

Taobao cotton - ¥6 I think? From taobao

ACRYLIC:

Loops and Threads Salmon Pink - $4.99 CAD from Michael’s - Medium Worsted - 9/10 - A wide variety of colours for cheap, doesn’t splinter off and good for hats & amigurumi details!

BLANKET:

Loops and Threads Grande Ombre- $10 usd - micheals - 207.8 yd/190 m - soft, magic circle works with this yarn, relatively good amount of colors. 10/10

Bernat blanket - £10 gpd-£15 gpd or $10- $13 usd - 9/10 - Various yarn shops - big, lasts long, good quality, but expensive if you don’t need too much.

Chinese yarn 🩷 - Taobao

I use the first one with a 5.5 mm hook, and the second one with a 6.0 mm hook :pink_heart:

This is an EXTREMELY high quality yarn, as it doesn’t shed and I make my mr without trouble, and it isn’t “squeaky”

Additionally, a 25mm blanket yarn is really good from taobao!

VELVET:

Loops and Threads Premir yarn - 13usd/9(ish)gpd - 10/10 - Micheals - Big, good quality and perfect to add small details to projects with a more softer feel (without using acrylic)

Edelwiess Mini Velvet yarn: $3.05 - 11/10 - Shopee - Thin, sheds sometimes, shimmery

Bernat Baby Velvet - £10-£15 gbp - 9/10 - lots of places - Big, doesnt shed, very good quality, not good if u don’t need too much but lasts FOREVER!! 400m I think. The reason it is 9/10 is cuz there were loads of factory knots, but that could just be a bad ball of yarn

BLENDS:

Jeans (YarnArt) - 1,50-2€ for a 50g skein - 8/10 - bought it from my local yarn shop - it’s pretty soft, the strands don’t separate, easy to use, many beautiful colours, but for some maybe too thin (it reccomends a 3,5mm hook)

FLUFFY:

Yeti - £3-£4 gbp - 10/10 - amazon - super soft, affordable, FLOOOFFFYYY

Moda Vera Otis Faux - AU$7.15 - 9/10 - Spotlight (Australia) - Good quality but is fairly easy to snap

OTHER: (if any other big ones then pls add headers for them!)

Gradient - taobao - 7 - 10¥ - TaoBao

I love this idea!!!

I’m always looking for some new yarn brands to try out, so this is a perfect place to see what everyone else likes!!

And it does look like you have to be a regular in order to edit. Unfortunately, I lost my rank somehow. :laughing:

But I absolutely loooooove this!!! :sparkling_heart:

I’d add a new header “FLUFFY” for yarns like Feels Like Bliss,… And another one for BLENDS

In the BLENDS header (or others):

Jeans (YarnArt) - 1,50-2€ for a 50g skein - 8/10 - bought it from my local yarn shop - it’s pretty soft, the strands don’t separate, easy to use, many beautiful colours, but for some maybe too thin (it reccomends a 3,5mm hook)
